Procedures
Fruit Filling
Prep Peaches
Use a peeler to peel a peach. In my experience, other methods are just not as effective.
Cut to the pit all the way around the center of the peach
Grab top and bottom halves and twist to separate the peach
Pull the pit out of the side it sticks to
Cut each half in half and then into wedges
Repeat for all 8 peaches
Sweeten Peaches
Combine peaches, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup sugar, ½ tspn cinnamon, ½ tspn nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl (I mean it - LARGE! It's a lot of peaches)
Hand mix the spices and such all over the peaches, then shake to ensure even coating
Cobbler
Bake the Filling
Preheat oven to 425°F
Pour the peach filling and even out into a baking dish (4 quart)
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes
Create Crust (During Initial Bake)
Combine flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl
Add butter in with hands
Stir in the boiling water until combined. You want just barely combined.
Assemble
Drop spoonfuls of the crust to cover the peaches. It will expand a bit, but you should try to cover as much as possible.
Mix the 3 tbsps of sugar and 1 tspn of cinnamon together and sprinkle over the top
